What is a "Scalawag?" The "traitorous" southern whites who supported the Union and Civil Rights. Tens of thousands of southerners fought for the Union and most supported Civil Rights afterwards.

Jack is a proud Scalawag wed to a Carpetbagger.

Hurrah, boys, hurrah!

Reminded of this exchange:

Images of Prince John talking to the with Latrine in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. John says "Such an unusual name, 'Latrine." How did your family come by it?" Latrine: "We changed it in the 9th Century." John: You changed it...to Latrine?" Latrine: "Yeah. Used to be Shithouse." John: It's a good change! It's a good change!"

That was sick, warped, and depraved.

More please!

Reminds me of this one:

Jeffrey Dahlmer sits at a table in Five Guys burgers holding a burger. He looks annoyed, Caption reads "I don't taste five guys..."

As a special needs parent I'm waiting in horror for that shoe to drop, particularly with whatever hell Herr "Doktor" Eugene X. Wurmenkopf has in store.

And there is a special Hell for special needs parents who backed a man who mocked a disabled reporter. How fucking stupid can you be?

Great choice! Criminally underappreciated compared to the other KPDH songs.
